ATTENTION
After transport stand the appliance upright and wait
at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into the
mains to ensure proper performance.
Use these average temperature settings to ensure op-
timum performance and to save energy.
Before storing food in your refrigerator wipe the interior with
a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda.
After having plugged the appliance into the socket, make
sure that the refrigerator light has turned on. Then turn the
thermostat knob “A” to setting “3”. After a couple of hours,
you can place fresh food into the refrigerator.
Setting up Your Appliance
- Remember to cool hot food before storing, otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the
compressor to work harder and use more energy.
- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that cold heavier
air tends to fall towards the bottom. This is why meat and
fish should be stored just above the crisper.
- Remember to keep to our instructions on the storage life
of foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will
deteriorate quite quickly.
- Please note: cooked foods do not keep longer than fresh
food.
- Do not store liquids in un-
sealed containers since this
will increase the humidity and
formation of ice in the refrig-
erator.
- The refrigerator is equipped
with pratical slide-out shelves
which can be adjusted for
height using the appropriate
guides (Fig, 2). This feature
allows you to store large con-
tainers and food products.
